Though a bit limited still.īut the best and most useful feature for us, and the one that allowed photoshop sketch to become an integral part of our pipeline is the fact that you can save the files as full-blown PSD files. The shapes selection is surprising useful.
However, for those that want to go full concept mode you can still upload and use custom brushes via the ‘My Library’ It comes with a small selection of brushes but we usually use the app for planning and doodling ideas so it has enough variety in the provided selection to get most of what we need to be done and so works well for us. You can transform the content around the page and even duplicate and merge layers which is handy.Ĭhoosing colours, brush sizes and flow levels is easy and intuitive You can easily change the opacity and blend mode of the layer. This feature was not available in the initial launch but fortunately was updated to allow for this pretty quick. The ability to add image layers and sketch layers make it feel like a proper sketching tool and more like Photoshop. But now with the increased canvas size selection it covers pretty much everything we need. One of the frustrations used to be that it originally only had one set canvas size, which meant that we would have to alter the image to fit our desired canvas size when working on a desktop. Once we are happy with the ideas we then refine them on the desktop. It’s now super easy to just open up the app and start doodling ideas.
We use ‘Sketch’ as our primary ideas tool, along with our amazing Apple pen and iPad Pro. We love the fact that you now have a large selection of different canvas sizes.
The latest update in November 2016 has made it one of the top tools in our office. Photoshop Sketch started a bit slow and didn’t allow for basic features like layers or picking a canvas size. I wouldn’t be surprised if they eventually evolve this into a full-blown desktop app.
It’s one of the top tools for a concept artist.Īdobe Photoshop Sketch is basically the drawing part of Photoshop fully isolated and more focused. But very quickly evolved into a concept artists dream package as it allowed for the creation of custom brushes and supported multiple stylists to create amazing artwork. Photoshop was (initially anyway), primarily a photo editing and touching up tool. It was released too soon and without many very obvious and essential components, almost to a point of being unusable!įor those of you who haven’t yet used Photoshop Sketch but have doodled in the desktop version of Adobe Photoshop, may somewhat understand what adobe has tried to do. Unfortunate it was mostly to our disappointment and frustration.Īdobe Photoshop Sketch was one of those apps. So the day we found out about the Adobe Touch Apps we immediately downloaded every app available on the store to test out. Anything that makes us more streamlined and cost-effective is a win for us and even better for our clients, as output is quicker and cheaper.
On one hand, it was great and showed that they were at least trying to innovate, but on the other hand it was super frustrating, as every new software release was lacking instability and very much unfinished.Īnd so with Adobe seeing the growing popularity of using iPad’s and other tablet computers for use in digital design They started the same, churning out of unfinished software, but now on to the app store.Īs a digital design studio, we jump at the idea of trying out the latest technologies, whether it be hardware or software. But for a while, it seemed as though adobe kind of lots touch and constantly churched out new crappy and unfinished bits of software hoping one will stick.
And adobe sits high up in regards to company’s which we somewhat-happily give our money too.Īdobe in our eyes has a decent set of traditional and much-loved software tools, including Photoshop, in-design, illustrator, premiere, after effects etc.
Photoshop Sketch is a constantly evolving app and gets regular updates and is now available for iOS and now Android (since November 2016).Īs a multimedia design studio Painting Pixels uses many different digital design tools for 3D, Graphic design and editing. It’s part of the new Adobe ‘Touch Apps’ series. Photoshop Sketch by Adobe is as its name suggests a sketch app for the ever-increasing and popular mobile devices.
